Visited Weird and Wonderful Wood today at Haughley Park. The weather was great and there were some wonderful carvings, sculptures and all things wood. I bought a metal crocodile and a bag woven from palm leaves from Zimbabwe and a necklace made from interlaced rings plaited from some sort of leaf I think.
There were lots of glass sculptures in the grounds by Danny Lane, an American sculptor and they looked really wonderful there.
A lovely day.

Spinning at Bardwell windmill
I spent the day spinning bamboo fibre in a tent at Bardwell windmill, Suffolk, while it was pouring with rain outside. When the sun did make an appearance it got very hot in the tent but most of the time it was cold because of the rain.
Nevertheless, people were very interested in my spinning and I felt I had done my bit for National Windmills Day. The next time I spin there will be at the Tythe Barn in Bardwell in September - I hope the weather will be better!
A morris dancing troupe turned up and danced in the rain and seemed to enjoy themselves - I think they had been to the pub beforehand and would be going back afterwards.
